Optical spectra were acquired using a Varian Cary 5 spectrophotometer; particle coverages were calculated by atomic absorption measurements (Perkin-Elmer 1100B outfitted with a graphite furnace) on 50% aqueous aqua regia-digested surfaces, assuming all Au particles were prolate spheroids, with 10.7 × 10.7 × 9.4 nm axes.

36. 14 The film volume (v) is defined as the product of the cross-sectional area (a, which is constant) and the film thickness (z). If the number of Au treatments is n and z = yn (where y is a constant), then v = ayn. The volume fraction f is defined as the ratio of the Au volume (g) to v. Since g = qθa, where q is the volume per particle (a constant), θ = the number of particles/cross-sectional area, and a is defined as above, and θ = rn (where r is a constant, Supporting Information), then f = g/v = (qrn)/(ayn) = a constant. Thus, we conclude that f remains roughly constant. An upper limit of f ≈ 0.5 can be obtained by integration of light areas in a FE-SEM image and assuming that the volume under each integrated element is completely filled with Au.
